  • I was really scared when the pilot made these low landing curves. What a great flight and the pilot made a perfect landing. I´m just not used to make turns onle 10 m above the ground.
    A huge thanks to the pilot and HPH Sailplanes for this amazing flight!

    I learned to fly in the UK design off a winch 1000ft. Three minutes each flight five if the thermals where strong. Wearing the leather helmet was a mistake as its the best way to judge side slip, no wool to guide you? Air brakes are on the side look to the right when using them best air brake fun you can ever have. Penetration into the wind is important and saved my neck flying glass knowing you have to get the nose down when low heading into the wind, in order to reach the field.

      @martinchamberlain542 4 года назад +1

      Érico Schmitt something around the level of a badly streamlined brick. I used to glide a few years ago, and had the opportunity to try out a few interesting vintage machines, and, being used to flying a discus or an ASW something, I have to say I found them all a handful. Gliding is now a beautiful dream to me, but the really vintage jobs were more of a nightmare!
